The circus that comes to town is unlike anything ever seen before: the performers can fly, the caravans bear knowledge from around the world, and the circus mother cooks with magical plants.

The sequel to Qayqa, currently in writing

Qayqa (2014) a novel

Set in a world where plants can speak and people can fly, we meet Damian, a young man with knots growing out of his head. His quest to untie them leads him over the horizon into Mother Earth’s mysterious desert, a barren place where he is seen as a seed refusing to grow. The quest to untangle his knots leads him into the scars of the earth and to a curious friendship with a potato.

A novel about the living energy of the universe, a fairytale about finding yourself.

This novel was financed as a crowdfunding project on the StartNext Plaform, and will be available in English & German in 2014.

Vocabulary I Love To Use

AYLLU (Quechua): spiritual family; a nickname I use for my blog-reading family.

AYNI (Quechua): reciprocity; the fundamental law of Andean society. The concept of ayni goes as follows: if two people race against each other, the winner of the race is then, by the law of ayni, obliged to teach and train the loser how s/he won, until they become equally good. According to the law of ayni, this is the only way in which a society can advance.
